The Molly Foundation for Diabetes Research

Join the fight this season! All proceeds raised will help find a cure for Diabetes.

Currently, 38.4 million people in the USA have Diabetes. Another 8.7 million have yet to be diagnosed.¹

Who We Are

The Molly Foundation was founded in 1989 by Nicholas Minicucci after his daughter, Molly Minicucci-Phillips was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes at only nine years old. The Molly Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on raising funds for research to find a cure for diabetes.

We have raised and committed over one million dollars to the Diabetes Research Institute and Hackensack Meridian Health for the furtherance of the search for a cure. We are proud to be partnered with Hackensack Meridian Health, who houses the MOLLY Diabetes Center to provide an unprecedented approach to treating and managing diabetes for people of all ages.

Donate

Molly was promised a probable cure in 10 years-it’s now 40 years later and we’re no closer. That’s why the commitment to The Molly Foundation for Diabetes Research (MFDR) means a contribution toward research. Let’s keep up the fight – we will win!
